Wailea Golf Club - Emerald Course

About
One of three championship golf courses at Wailea Golf Club on the south side of Maui, the Emerald is one of two at the club designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. This is a bolder and more modern test compared to next door Old Blue, though it is more playable than the Gold Course. The Emerald was one of the first golf courses in Hawaii to be rated women-friendly by Golf for Women Magazine, an honor the course has won seven times. Playing under 6,900 yards from the championship tees, there are fewer forced carries on the Emerald as well as wider, kinder fairways. The course is also home to a double-green, shared by No. 10 and 17 and bordered by a 2.7 million gallon lake, one of the club's most scenic spots.

Lovely course , good layout
I certainly expect more from the staff when I'm paying
175-200 for a round of golf. The starter seemed to be the only person happy to be there . All the other employees weren't polite
or friendly . I've played here several times before . The price has gone up and the employees are less friendly . I will not play wailea again.
Fabulous views, very enjoyable layout.
Fairly expensive but worth it. Course is in excellent condition. Stay out of the lava and you can score. Greens are beguiling.
Pristine with tough greens
Just a magical scene. Not terribly hard, but the greens are us open like for the avg golfer. Very cool.
Gorgeous views
Great course for couples, pretty wide open with amazing views. Course was in great shape, greens were tough, general rule of thumb stay short on most holes, sloping back to front.
Emerald golf course is absolutely beautiful and well maintained.
We enjoyed the course very much unfortunately the welcoming female staff at the pro shop was not friendly at all.
Great views, excellent course conditions - perfect day
Fantastic view upon the ocean from many fairways.
Some challeging greens with unexpected breaks.
Overall excellent course conditions.
Wonderful Golf Experience
Fabulous! Everything about the Wailea Emerald course was an excellent experience. The course is well maintained and everyone associated with the facility were very helpful. It was my first time to play the course and I would play it again in a New York minute. I was offered a tip about reading the greens, which helped everyone in our foursome except me. Tip: All the greens slope away from the ocean. Even though it appears to slope toward the ocean, the ball rolls the other way. I had a lot of trouble on the green with both sloop and pace. However, I had a great golf experience.
Great course, Great deal
Same day booking on Golf Now, could not believe the deal. Course was in Outstanding condition! Fun to play, beautiful views, and pace was OK for a resort course.
not many folks out there. offfered replay at same price as original.
Grumpy old guy in pro shop should retire, took shine off of what was a great experience.
Fun Course
All aspects of course were good. Great vistas of the Pacific from most holes. Pace of play was good. The GolfNow rate made it more enjoyable. Course design required the use of all clubs and shot shapes.
Gorgeous Course
The Emerald course has stunning views of the Maui shorelines and surrounding islands. The course itself is beautifully landscaped and in pristine condition.
As a beginning player I found the course fun and challenging and well suited for players of all levels.
good ocean view course
friendly staff, nice practice area, ocean can be seen from most of course, huge landing areas and green run-offs, (played with my wife who is just starting to play & it was enjoyable for her) well maintained, and Gannons is a nice place for after-round snack.
Perfect! Beautiful course. Great ocean views. Excellent condition.
This is a course worthy of Hawaii. My wife's absolute favorite. Very much a resort course with mostly wide fairways. Try the food at the course restaurant - Gannon's. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all outstanding. We go there to eat even when not playing golf. Reasonable prices as well.
Stunning views from every hole!
Outstanding golf course with absolutely gorgeous views from nearly every hole. Course condition was immaculate. Moderate difficulty but fair. Very friendly for women. Only downside is the staff was not very helpful. Had to ask several times before getting any service or information.
Golfing in paradise!!!
We had a blast at this amazing golf course. The view is breathtaking with every hole. I've never seen such a pristine fairway like walking on a carpet. We felt like commiting a crime every time we took a divot. It is truly a golf in paradise to be treated like a King and Queen.
Beautiful Views.. bring your camera to take picutres when it is not your turn.
I came from the West Maui, the Kapalua area and traffic to get there was a mess. I left an hour and half before my tee time expecting to arrive a 1/2 hour ahead. I arrived 2 min past my tee time. My group was sent out on time and I followed them out. The starter told me I could tee off and take my time to catch them or go by myself. I caught them on 3 playing normal speed. The whole round we were not rushed. The speed of play was great. The course was great. I and another Gent played from the blue tees and the length of the holes for the most part were within reach on the second or 3rd shot. Greens were nice and big, the speed on the putts was perfect, not too slow or too fast. The cart Girl was great, the staff was great. I had a great time and would play there again. Just give myself more time to get there and warm up.
Friendly and challenging at the same time
Great pace of play. Fairways in great shape. Greens in good shape although some brown patches of grass. Grain on greens always makes reading putts difficult. Beautiful views of ocean and neighboring islands.
Very nice course,beautiful views and in great shape!
The only complaint we had, I called ahead to reserve clubs( new taylormade), for $60, but when we got there,they tried giving my husband an old mismatched set, for the same price. Apparently reserving clubs doesn't exist. They were quite put out when we complained,but they did give him a demo set to use. Everything was great!
The best!
Wow is this course unreal! Even saw whales jumping while I was putting! Only complaint was the group behind us hitting up on us a few holes..If your in that much of a hurry stay at home! First class golf resort wish I played it again but the memories will remain!
challenging with great views
Great resort goolf course, can be tough, but very fair. Very scenic with numerous ocean views
